On Saturday we helped to get the house ready for Adam’s nephew’s birthday party. Tony dutifully washed dishes and helped clean the house while Adam set to work hanging the piñata. We did general clean-up and party maintenance for the day. John Wesley had a great time and everybody went home with lots of candy.
In the evening we headed to see Adam’s niece, Jessica, in a school dance recital. We had a great time watching her and the rest of the kids perform. They did an eclectic combination of dances loosely following the theme of the Nutcracker. Afterward we packed Adam’s parents, Jessica and her friend, Katie, and the two of us into a little Suzuki and zipped home. We had some great stew that Pam (Adam’s sister-in-law) had made and Tiffany (Adam’s neice) brought over Landon (her son, Adam’s great nephew), so we could meet him for the first time (he just turned one a week ago!) Everybody got turns to love on Landon and Adam played therapist, helping him to sit up straight and giving him support so he could turn his head, which Landon loved doing.
Landon has cortical blindness and cerebral palsy, when he was born they thought he had anencephaly (no brain) and was sent home with hospice. Now he is a year old and they are continuing to make changes to his diagnoses. He has the cutest little hand splints to help his hands stay flexible and foot braces for his little feet. Needless to say he gets lots of attention whenever he is around!
[ MOM!!! Send pics of Landon, Tony lost major points because there are NONE of me and Landon on our camera!]
We had lots of fun, goofing around, running errands and doing chores. Other than keeping the kitchen clean, Tony was in charge of doing the window tinting in the upstairs window. While Adam did some routine maintenance on his car – changing oil pressure relay, oil and oil filter, air filter and cabin air filter… the usual. – But it fixed the oil pressure problem that popped up while we were in
